The Nicholson Fox-Pitt rivalry

Agree with Dusty. Fail to see what AN is being so bitchy about. WFP was, is and has always behaved as a gentleman. However in all this, I bet Alice F-P is wishing everyone would just shut up!

I'm afraid you thought wrong! William won't let it go either. I wonder where Andrew got the idea of revving the crowd up! Perhaps he thought that's how gentlemen behave?!!

Hahaha exactly :D I actually really like both men, but Andrew is very funny in his dry, wry way :) I thought it was a wonderful climax, and I'm delighted to see a new face at the top of the leader board. Michael took his disappointment with great grace, as did the two Grand Slam contenders. IMHO Andrew is riding better than he ever has, and perhaps more importantly has the best string of top class horses he has ever assembled (led by Quimbo who, sticking my neck out, I think will emerge as the top event horse in the world over the next year or so); I see no reason why he, or indeed William, may not put himself in a position to have another tilt at the Grand Slam in the next year or so. Fantastic Badminton, roll on Burghley :) :)

ETA: By the way, miniTD was doing work experience with the TV company covering Badminton for the BBC and spent most of Sunday helping
Claire Balding; she reports that her absolute favourite rider of the day was Stefano who was charming, humble, loved his horse and was hot enough to sizzle :D
